Port of West Calhoun

Maritime Lawyers Protect the Rights of Offshore Workers

The Victoria Barge Canal is what links this Texas port to the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway. This waterway is located along the Gulf Coast of the United
States. This is actually an inland waterway that runs across 1,700 kilometers
from Florida to Texas. Engineers have made this waterway with a controllable
depth for the transportation of barges. The barges that pass by this port
primarily carry industrial products and chemicals. Bulk carrier barges
are integral to the shipping industry because they allow businesses to
transport product in bulk for a low price.

One industry this port is known for is commercial seafood production. Shrimping
and fishing are popular in this area, so there are facilities at the port
to accommodate this vital, growing industry. This particular port is also
well known for oil and gas exploration. There is also land available at
the port, which means that those who wish to develop industrial and commercial
properties there may inquire to do so.

There are many different occupations of people who interact at the port
on a daily basis, including:

Crew workers on barges

Commercial fishermen

Oil and gas rig operators

Harbor workers

Industrial workers

Calhoun County, Texas

Calhoun County is located in South Texas, with Port Lavaca being the county
seat. It is incorporated into the larger statistical area of Victoria.
The town itself was named for John Caldwell Calhoun, who was the seventh
vice president of the U.S. The last census put the population of Calhoun
at around 21,000. This is definitely a port county—about 50% of
the square mileage of Calhoun is made up of water.

The county is perfect placement for a port due to the major highways that
run through it. The U.S. Highway 87 and State Highways 35 and 185 make
it ideal for truck transportation. If you are a resident of Calhoun County
and work in the Port of West Calhoun, as many do, know that you have a
legal advocate on your side in the event of injury.
